Which Breathalyzer ?
Where Do I Start ?
Here at The Breathalyzer Shop we fully appreciate that the choice of breathalyzer can be daunting and very confusing which is why we are here to offer advice and guidance through the buying process ! We only stock the very latest models (2009 Models) and do not sell 'old stock' or gimic style units carrying false promises of accuracy levels and strange endorsements.
To make life very easy, all of our units are calibrated in either milligrammes per litre (mg/l) or microgrammes per 100ml of breath. Sounds complicated ? Not really -
The UK Drink Driving Limit will simply be shown as 0.35 (mg/l) or 35 (mcg/100ml)
Full easy user guide instructions are included on all breathalyser purchases. You do not require any training to use any of our breathalysers, even the Police grade Drager range. Just turn on, fit the mouthpiece and blow - EASY !
Beware - All Breathalyzers should only be used as a guide - Do Not Drink & Drive !!
How Accurate Is A Breathalyzer ?
We only sell a select range of quality breathalyzers. We don't sell novelty keyring type 'breathalyzers' as these are little more than toys. As with any purchase, in general terms, the more expensive the model, the higher the specification and accuracy. All our breathalyzers feature advanced semiconductor sensors (the Drager, Alcovisor and Alcotector models feature superb fuel cell sensors, as used by UK and worldwide Police forces) and the highest spec models provide high accuracy levels. eg AL6000 Prestige or AL7000 Premium or Alcovisor Mk X.
However, to ensure accuracy, it is important that a deep lung sample of breath is blown into any breathalyzer. In addition, do not test until approx 15-20 mins after your last alcoholic drink as residual alcohol in the mouth will give a false reading. Toothpaste and mouthwash will also affect the reading in a similar fashion.
All our breathalyzers are supplied with comprehensive easy to use instructions and general guidelines.

2009 Model The Alcovisor Mk X offers outstanding accuracy at an affordable price. This is a fuel cell (electrochemical sensor) employing similar technology to Police units and offering similar accuracy to Police grade screening units.
This is particularly well suited to employers or individuals who need the extreme accuracy of a fuel cell device but at a much cheaper price than a UK Home Office approved Police unit. Don't be fooled by the modest price tag for a fuel cell device - this offers superb accuracy for a fraction of the cost.

BAC100 Alcotector Professional
2009 Model The BAC100 is the only breathalyser in The World that combines Police grade accuracy with a built in thermal printer.
It offers Police grade accuracy at a fantastic price and is in use with the Police Forces of USA, China, Argentina, Thailand, China, India to name a few. This is a great breathalyser for employers wishing to screen/test their workforce, needing a hard print out but without the additional expense of a full UK Home Office unit such as a Drager 6510/6810. The combined printer offers substantial cost savings over a Drager breathalyser/printer combo.
£599.90 inc vat & free delivery
The Drager 6510/6810 both carry full Home Office Approval for use as roadside breathalyzers by UK Police forces. They are in use with a substantial number of UK Police forces. If you get stopped at the roadside by a Police officer, the chances are high that a Drager 6510/6810 breathalyser is employed. These are 'fuel cell' units which are expensive to manufacture but have unrivalled reliability and accuracy levels. It doesn't come any better than Drager for quality and reliability.
They are an ideal unit for professional organisations/employers who require a highly accurate and reliable reading for perhaps follow up disciplinary action/suspension. These units have been used as the basis for disciplinary action against employees in numerous cases where a lower grade semi conductor device would have carried little weight at an employment tribunal. In a nutshell, they are accurate enough for UK law enforcement.
If you are likely to need written proof of a breath sample for future action then we recommend the Drager 6810 series which has a wireless, portable printer. The 6510 has the same accuracy levels but does not have the facility to download the result to a printer.
